Water Wednesday: Do You Know Where Your Water Comes From?

I'm always astonished when I hear about a child who was raised in the city, and thinks that carrots come from the store (rather than a farm), but honestly, if you asked me, "Where does your water comes from?" my minimal knowledge makes me only a step away from answering, "the faucet."

I'm guessing that unless things change quickly, it will become increasingly important for people to know, and care about their drinking water source(s). According to the UN, "with the existing climate change scenario, almost half the world's population will be living in areas of high water stress by 2030."
